Don’t let mosquitoes dictate when and where you set up camp. The Thermacell Radius is a welcome gizmo—one Popular Mechanic awarded as the “Best of What’s New in 2018”—that repels insects without spray or flame. Simply press the button and the Thermacell Radius expels a DEET-free, odorless chemical (metofluthrin), which causes mosquitoes to steer clear of a 110-square foot area. What’s more, the Thermacell Radius is an extremely compact device (3.1 x 1.9 x 3.3 inches), making it even more attuned to the needs of a roadtripper. The batteries are rechargeable, and the cartridges can be replaced (each cartridge lasts 40 hours).
Tester Comments:
“I hate spraying myself down with mosquito repellant, especially right before bed. Having a low-profile gadget like the Radius is awesome. No more spray!”
Bottom Line:
A welcome alternative to bug sprays and candles.
